Just trying to start a discussion and gauge how successful an aquascape specific shop could be and if fellow hobbyists like myself are willing to travel for such a shop.
I personally will not buy plants from a retail shop as they are generally not very well kept, (There are exceptions) not much choice and really little or no inspiration from display tanks.
I find myself ordering plants and scaping products i.e. hardscaping materials from well known online shops and this is great but when I want to have a good look at plants and play with hardscape before buying there really is only 1 place I can think of which is 60- 70 miles away. Even though this is quite a journey I still prefer to travel to such a store.
How do you feel about aquatic retailers and their 'scaping' and plant ranges? Are they missing out here or are the web based stores too competitive to warrant supplying these products?
Thanks
Matt
